SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 18.-A striking proclamation to the Bulgarian nation has been issued by King Ferdinand. In it he recounts the suffering of the Macedonian Christians and the efforts of the Euro pean powers to obtain better treatment for them and finally says that he has called his people to arms only after the patience of the Balkan nations has been exhausted. The proclamation opens with a refer ence to King Ferdniand's peaceful reign of twenty-five years and says he had hoped that it would have so continued, but Providence judged otherwise. "The moment has come when the Bul garian race is called upon to renounce the benefits of peace arid to have ' re course to arms for the solution of the great problem," the king says." "Beyond the Rilo and Rhodope, mountains our brothers in biood and 'religion have not ' been able until .this day,, thirty-five years after our liberation, to obtain conditions of life that are bearable. ....... . . . .

"I guess I'm some good after all." Billy Rugh, the 41-year-old cripple, whose withered leg was amputated to save the life of a girl by a skin-grafting operation at a hospital her, spoke these words this morning and then died. Pneumonia was sad by the physicians to have been the cause of death. The ailment however resulted directly from self-sacrifice, having been due to irrita tion of the lungs by the ether that was given when the leg was cut off to fur nish skin for the body of a person whom he had never seen. Rugh had no relatives and since coming to Gary, a tramp several years ago, he had made his living selling newspaper on the streets. He had to be trusted for the first bundle of papers with which he started business. The girl, Miss Ethel Smith, for whom he secrificed his leg and later his life, had been terribly burned in a motorcycle acci dent. It Is Just two days since her re covery advanced sufficiently to permit her. removal hpme from the hospital In which Rugh died.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 18. (Special Tele gram.) The hearing in the district court of Lancaster county on an application for a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary of state to place on the election ballot the names ot the Taft republican electors, came on late this afternoon before District Judges Cosgrave, Cornish and Stewart. John Lee Webster, appeared as chief counsel for the republican state com mittee, assisted by A. W. Jtffrles of Omaha and F. M. Hall of Lincoln, while Deputy Attorney General Ayers looked after the interests of the secretary of state, assisted by C. C. Flansburg of Lincoln, in the capacity of a "friend" of the court. Mr. Webster presented affidavits show ing that the six republican electors had been certified to the secretary of state as the regular nominees of he republican party, and that the three days having ex pired, required by law for the filing of a protest, that there ws nothing else under the law for the secretary of state to do but to put the names on the ballot aa the nominees of the republican party. To show that a vacancy existed on the ballot and that the committee had a right to fill that vacancy, Mr. Webster read the la wwhlch, substantially, is that the elec tors, If elected to represent one party, if they supported the candidates of another party which had a platform opposed to the other, that that act vacated the of fice. To subsantlate thin Mr. Webstei cited court decisions from a dozen dif ferent states covering the Identical point in controversy. , Webster's Argument. In presenting the case to the court Mr. Webster said: . . 1 .ii'.At tbft iim when th- Rdmarle- were held which nominated presidential elec tors there' were ."hut' two .prominent po litical parties, the rtfwblleafl ! barty 'aiid the democratic party. '" There may have been individual preferences as to who should be the nominees of the national republcian convention, but .these Individ ual preferences were subordinate to the combined will of the convention, both as to the principles which should be em bodied in Its national platform and as to the persons who should be selected as its standard bearers.- This was as true, of the republican party as It then was Of the democratic party. There was not a voter in the state of Nebraska who at that time would have dared to have made the suggestion that a republican presi dential elector would vote for the demo cratic nominees for president and vice president nor that the presidential elec tors on the democratic ticket . should vote for the republican nominees for' president atid vice president. 'The progressive party, commonly called the bull moose party, was not then In existence.

The fact that Mrs. "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, wife of one of tlm four gunmen charged with the actual murder, testified yesterday as a state's witness ave rse to rumors that "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg had a confession to make and would likewise go over to the side of the state. This had been reported from time to time, however, without con firmation. Before the opening of court Becker's lawyers expressed satisfaction at Justice Goff's decision yesterday, barring any testimony tending to show that Beckei had fattened his modest policeman's salary with gambling house graft. At torney Hart opened for the defense. Ad dressing the Jury ho said in part: Talks for Beeker. "The defendant does not intend to let the case rest where It Is. He intends to convince you gentlemen of the Jury, not only that he Is not guilty, but that he is an Innocent man. "We contend "that the defendant Is In no way connected with the gunmen who committed this murder. The chief wit nesses, aside from alleged accomplces. are Luban, the convict; Hallen, the self confessed forger, and Margolls, the self confessed perjurer. "As to Luban, who claims to have wit nessed this murder, we will prove that Luban never saw the murder; that he was In Brooklyn at the time. We will prove this by Luban's owh brother. 'We will prove that Webber, Rose and Vallon and Schepps conspired to kill Rosenthal Independently of Beclcer, each with his own Independent motive for so doing." William T. Jerome, the first witness, said he and Hart the evening after the murder, went' to the Bar association, where they engaged a private room. "Becker came in about 8 o'clock," Jerome said, but he wad not permitted to testify that he had heard Becker hold a telephone conversation with any one, or call Jack Rose- on the telephone. "Did you hear him fay 'No, you Ktay right where" you are until you hear from me?." asKed Mr. Hart. Justice Goff sustained Moss' objection for the state and Instructed Hart to dis continue this line of examination. ' The court then dismissed Jerome and Police Commissioner Waldo testified next. "Did you direct Becker to raid Herman Rosenthal's gambling house in April ot this year?" was asked. ' "Yes; I directed him to obtain evidence against Rosenthal and others, and he raided the place." "It is stated that after the raid," said Mclntlre, "a policeman was stationed at Rosenthal's place." ' "Yes. I directed that a man be stationed there."
